Hello Area 46!
It was wonderful seeing everyone at the August Elections Assembly in Albuquerque. Special thanks to District 12 and all who volunteered to host and produce this event!
I am so grateful to be able to continue serving Area 46 as the Alternate Chair for the 2024-2025 rotation. Congratulations to all of our newly elected trusted servants, and thank you to everyone who stood and made themselves available to serve in any capacity.
As your current Technology Committee Chair, I’m staying busy keeping the website current and functional, and working with my committee to maintain and improve our hybrid experience at assemblies.
Since our last Assembly, the Technology Committee purchased 7 refurbished laptops to be used for hybrid event production. 6 of these were purchased within the budget approved by the assembly in March. The 7th was purchased as a backup along with cases for our new speakers using a separate budget line allocated to hybrid equipment. The new laptops are functioning very well. We attended and produced the Assembly Planning Meeting in June, Area 46 Service Forum in July, and assisted in producing visuals for main meetings at SWACYPAA in August.
A winner was drawn live at the August Assembly for the PA system Giveaway. Congratulations, District 3!
We prepared one motion for the August assembly:
Motion to divide the Technology Committee into two, separately funded standing Area committees. The AIP Section I.F.6.l (page 19) would be amended as described in the background information and the names of the two committees would be 1) Technology Committee, and 2) Hybrid Event Production Committee.
This motion passed, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you to all Area 46 GSRs, DCMs, and Trusted Servants for your time and consideration.
